Encourage Men TO Own Homes.

A mans first duties are to his
family and himself. The state should
not make those primary duties more
difficult by taxing any Of the neces-
saries of life. The necessity for the
major portion of the enormous rcve-
nue. needed by government arises
from vice and folly in their various
forms. The causes of taxation should
bear the burden of taxation. All pub
lie revenues should be drawn from in.
direct taxes upon conduct I'D con-
ditions more or less Ininical to the
general welfare. Luxuries, vices,
follles, excessive wealth, and all con.
duct, either of citizens or foreigners,
which tends to generate evil and in-
justice, should be taxed as far us
practicable. Such u system of taxa
ton would necessarily have cor
relative effect, viz, tie encourage
ment of virtuous acts by freeing them
from public burdens.
Instead OF policy which would
make it impossible for any Individual
to ever become the absolute owner OF
q homestead-that would make man
kind more nonlaiic amt lessen their
interest in anil affection for their
homes--the State should encourage
every man to get Il piece "f ground
and u home OF Ills own. 70 this end,
all homesteads to Il limited amount
of value, should heexempt both from
taxation and from attachment fnr
debt. The tendency of such IA meas
ure would be silently tn prevt mt and
cure the evil Of Il all1ap ply of land
by a comparatively few, as we'll as
the evil of a teuant population with
little interest IN the soil upon which
their toll and lives are spent.-John
Philip Philips, i'll The American
Magazine.

The foul mouthed man is q libel on
human character. He is vile without
any apparent reason. Vice and degra-
dation are usually backed by what
are called reasons. 1t may be that
the victim has been led into indul-
gence by the mistaken idea that he
finds enjoymentSin such u life. Greed
may have been the incentive. I'm
comfortable passions aud appetite
may have demanded appeasing. But
low, degrading language has not
even Il show Of excuse. 1t bespeaks
low breeding and low thinking. 1t
makes man utterly unfit for the
companionship of decent men and
women and almost unfit for associa-
ton with intelligent, clearly, orderly
brutes. The man who will use lam
guage anywhere that is unsuitable
for the ear Of his mother, wife OF
children, is man whose friendship
or companionshlp is thoroughly un-
desirable, and indeed unsafe. We
have all sorts of law to encourage de-
cency and to prevent indecency. But
there never was law yet framed to
reach as unmitigated nuisance us Is
the man of foul mouth.-Western

part of the place has very narrow

wide. Here WAS situated the old
cathedral, noted Ivy ali tourists as a
place of interest. Twas built i'll 1893
and has been used as u place of
worship continuously till the present
month. 1t has just been destroyed
by fire, and the country loses land
mark of considerable note. 1t Was
situated on one side of the plaza" or
the public square, near the centre OF
the town, had may fine paintings
within its walls and was quite an
imposing editice. Near it, on the
same side of the plaza was hotel
and many other good buildings.
In the centre and on the front of the
plaza stood the old stone market,
where human chattels were bought
and sold up to the time of the Eman-
cipatiou proclamation. This was an
open kind Of structure not being
enclosed at the sides or ends and was
seated like summer home. These
and many more buildings have just
been burned. The p. .. was across
the street ut the other end of the
plaza and was formerly the residence
of the old Spanish Governors till 1921
when that part of the country was
coded to the u. 8. Here they have

which is quarried on the island across
the bay, except the top layer which
Is of granite. This coQuinia stone is
composed of ali endless variety Of sea
shells, cemented together by the
action of the water. This wall has
stood since 1890 and scarcely tourist
visits St. Augustine. but what takes
walk on the sea wall. Old Fort San
Marco, now Fort Marion, was built
of this same kind of stone. This fort
was commenced in 1920, but as the
work was done 10y Indian prisoners
it progressed slowly and was not
finished for about 100 years. At this
Fort the Apache Indians are confined,
except Chief Geronimo. There are
AT of them, consisting of men, women
and children and they appear to be q

they were in 1860, when I saw them

used as barracks for the soldiers.

Florida war are buried here.
